The Saturday evening patriotic pops concert, always held near the Fourth of July, began with the Ada VFW Post 9381 Color Guard presenting the colors. The crowd stood, putting their hands over their heart, as Kirsten Osbun-Manley sang, with gusto, the "Star Spangled Banner."

In life, everyone has "bumps in the road," some large, some small.
You do your best to contend with misfortune. Ada "bumps in the road" are being fixed this week with manholes smoothed out. Some things are fixable.
Ada saw more than the usual road repair this year with blacktop being applied in many places in town.
The manholes have become more of a nuisance for drivers since, in many cases, the blacktop is now higher than the manholes. So, workmen are in town this week to smooth out the pesky dips in the road.
